An 8-year-old girl’s thoughts on why women are awesome

What makes being female so wonderful? That’s the question an 8-year-old girl was asked to answer in school recently.

This smart little cookie grabbed her pencil and scrawled this “unexpected” list of reasons why women are so awesome:

We have veginas.
We get jobs.
We are creative.
We have stuff that makes us preanet.
We have milk in our bobes.
We are smart.
We have power.

Amen.

The girl’s father shared the list with the Reddit community and many users were inspired by her powerful message and her use of the word “vegina”:

That was one of the most touching and empowering messages I have ever read about being a woman. You’re daughter is my hero, and appears to be very sharp for her age.

I give you a million for teaching her to use the word vagina instead of some weird pet name for it. I think that it is a big deal for a little girl or boy to use the right words for the vagina and penis, I think it is more empowering than it would seem.

The list quickly spread across the Internet universe, appearing on Facebook walls and on national news sites ranging form the Huffington Post to Jezebel.
